it takes a long time to do that but it can be done.. My black car wasnt too bad.. It just requires putting more length in some of the wires and cutting down some of the wires so if your not good with electrical wire loom would be your best bet.

Start off with taking off the fenders and work from there just look at it and you can come up with the best route that you want to take.. But it does take time and is about a weekend straight worth of work to make it look good. Also keep wires tight together with zipties

But the first thing with all that is get a battery relocation kit and install that first it will save you alot of room up front

just cut & extend into the fenders. No biggie. Been there, done that. it will take a weekend for sure.

**Sonic03snake** · 09-27-2009, 09:28 PM

You should look into getting another under hood harness from another car to cut up for the extensions. That way all the wires would be colored as OEM.

**Rodeheaver's** · 09-28-2009, 08:14 PM

you might want to think about doing a fox style intake and t-body set up mike, i am not sure what all it takes to do but it frees up a good bit of space, ask Mike from wolfpack, he has done one before..

Good idea, a little power to be had too if im not mistaken.

I'm planning on it once I get the money for the stroker kit, I'm thinking about a carbed style vic jr intake tapped for injectors with intake elbow into a throttle body

if your doing that, then switch to a Fox style TB before hand cause it will make it alot easier once you go to swap that stuff on.

**94svtcobra** · 09-28-2009, 08:29 PM

y? seems like thats twice the work n money

Cause you have to swap out alot of stuff. Thats just my opinion. Here is a list of what you need
Fox TB
Fox TB IAC
Fox Throttle cable
Fox Cruise control cable
Fox throttle cable bracket
Fox Fuel injector wiring harness side of the TPS sensor
Fox EGR valve
Fox EGR spacer
Fox Vacuum tree
Tubing to run from the VC filler neck to teh TB PCV tube connection if your not using a SN95 port
Vacuum caps if you need to block off any connections if you delete your EGR. a 3/8" pipe plug to block off the fox ACT sensor port behind the #5 runner in the lower intake if your running a fox lower intake or aftermarket intake
your will have to modifly your CAI or make your own to make it work..

You have to modify your TPS wiring also Thus the fuel injector wiring harness needed

IMO it would be easier to do this first get this all out of the way and get the bugs worked out if there is any so the intake swap would go smoother cause if you do all this at once and something does work out right it could just be more that could of went wrong.. Thats just my opinion
